Abstract: The present invention concerns methods and apparatus for determining when it is appropriate to apply a quantum representation to contextualizations of propositions about items as experienced by test subjects. The methods and apparatus also indicate when classical representations are appropriate and under what conditions views of the observed effects or measurable indications are to be modified. Renormalization-related ordering of test subjects along a real scale parameter W and their confinement to a range ?W of scale values Wi within which the quantum representation can be presumed to be within a range of validity are introduced. The ordering and other renormalization-inspired concepts are used to define important parameters of the representations including first and second-order phase transitions to enhance the application of quantum or classical representations and/or views to be presented to an observer.

Abstract: A method and system for collecting information, enriching the collected information and linking the enriched information is provided. The system includes an application server that is accessible by users via their computer device for performing a variety of functions encompassed in a lifestream data function. Lifestreams (or lifestream data) contains notes, recordings and annotation data elements. The goal of the lifestream data functions is to ultimately enrich the individual data elements in each lifestream which then form a network of enriched lifestreams or aspects of enriched lifestreams to provide a user with: (a) a better organization of his/her data, notes, thoughts and intentions, (b) a better search or filter tool to search for data, notes, thoughts and intentions, and/or (c) a better ranking mechanism for ranking or determining relevance of data, notes, thoughts and intentions.

Abstract: System and method for event-based updating of user profiles UP of users U in a social network and formation of new communities based on a resonance condition. A database of user profiles UP with profile domains D based on self-reports as well as observed network behaviors is deployed. The user profiles UP of users U in groups G attending an event are re-compiled by an event-based updating module based on event responses ER. Further, the event-based updating module identifies a profile change ?P* in at least one of the profile domains D of user profiles UP, and the new community is formed by the event-based updating module from a subgroup SG whose profile change ?P* indicates a mutual resonance or consensus in their event responses ER.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to methods and apparatus for predicting the quantum state, including the dynamics of such quantum state in so far as it represents a subject embedded in a community of community subjects. In the quantum representation adopted herein the internal states of all subjects are assigned to quantum subject states defined with respect to an underlying proposition about an item that can be instantiated by an object, a subject or by an experience. Contextualization of the proposition about the item is identified with a basis (eigenbasis of a spectral decomposition) referred to herein as the social value context. The dynamics are obtained from quantum interactions on a graph onto which the quantum states of all the subjects are mapped by a surjective mapping dictated by subject interconnections and subject-related data, including the social graph and information derived from “big data”.

User interfaces and semantic skins are also provided to derive meaning out of notes without requiring a great deal of user input.

Abstract: The present invention presents methods and apparatus for predicting a joint quantum state of subjects, such as human beings, modulo an underlying proposition that revolves about an object, a subject or an experience while deploying a quantum representation of the situation. The joint quantum state is built from a transmit subject qubit |Tx assigned to a transmitting subject that broadcasts a measurable indication and also a receive subject qubit |Rx that is assigned to a receiving subject that is capable of receiving the measurable indication. The subjects share a common internal space represented by a Hilbert space (TR). The joint quantum states admit of representation by symmetric and anti-symmetric wave functions depending on the quantum statistics (Bose-Einstein or Fermi-Dirac) corresponding to consensus and anti-consensus forming types exhibited by the qubits when considered modulo the proposition.

Abstract: Delivery of health information to a patient suffering from a chronic condition is personalized by displaying the health information directly on a customized image of a body. The patient's medical record, standards of care for the condition, prescribed treatments, and patient input are applied to a generalized health model of a disease to generate a personalized health model of the patient. The personalized health model comprises an HTML file encoding an image map of a body. The body image illustrates the health condition of the individual patient. Preferably, data is collected from health provider sources and stored in a database on a server at a service provider site. The data is processed at the server, and is displayed in the patient's home using a TV connected to a multimedia processor. The multimedia processor connects the television set to a communications network such as the Internet.

Abstract: The present invention is an apparatus and method for predicting the reactions of a subject, e.g., a human being to a proposition posed to the subject during a subject-object or a subject-subject interaction that takes place online or in real life. The quantum mechanical model adopted herein assigns a first subject qubit |iss1> to a primary internal state of the subject with eigenvalues corresponding to measurable indications a, b of the primary internal state. A response qubit |rsp> that can yield at least two mutually exclusive responses corresponding to two eigenvalues is also assigned to the subject. A proposition matrix PR in the form of a linear operator designed to act on response qubit |rsp> is assigned to enable a quantum mechanical derivation of response probabilities and expectation values for response to the same underlying proposition in various contexts, including incompatible contexts in the Heisenberg sense.
